Resharper Can Preview XML Comments as HTML

Golly gee whiz but you learn something new every day. I was a big fan of
Quickdoc
viewer
as a means to quickly view an HTML rendering of your XML comments
directly from within VS.NET.

The reason I say was is that I cannot for the life of me get that
sucker to work in VS.NET 2005 on my machine. I am also having problems
with GhostDoc. It
seems any plugin that uses the new XML file based registration (instead
of the registry) doesn’t work for me. Perhaps because I am running as a
LUA?

In any case, I just noticed that
Resharper has a
similar feature, though not nearly as nice as Quickdoc. If you select a
method or class and hit CTRL+Q, it will show a window with a more
readable version of your XML comments. The following image demonstrates
the feature.

I am very happy to find this, but only because I can’t get QuickDoc to
work. Quickdoc is far better in how it renders the documentation in
pretty much the same way that
NDoc does. Maybe I should the
Jetbrains folk with a feature request to improve this a tad bit.
